Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients For Cookies
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter


Ingredients for Filling
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
~2 tbs sugar


Filling:
Beat together powdered sugar, and peanut butter. Shape approximately 32 balls with hands. Set aside. Place sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

Cookies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together butter, sugars, and peanut butter until smooth. In a separate bowl stir together flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. If you are not using a electric mixer the last cup or so of the flour mixture may have to be kneaded in by hand. Shape dough into approximately 32 balls. To form cookies take one ball of dough, make an indent in its center with your thumb and press a filling ball into the indent. Wrap the dough completely around the filling, and smooth out by rolling between your palms. Dip the round cookie in the bowl of sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Use the bottom of a glass to press down each cookie to about 1/2 an inch high. Bake for about eight minutes or until cookies set.
